Specs. XPath 2.0 changed XPath in an incompatible way. There's a
"compatibility mode" for interpreting existing XPath 1.0 queries, but
it seems like a bad idea to build on a spec whose authors have put
compatibility into a side mode and what's considered the main thing
isn't fully compatible with existing queries.
